The Messiah May 31st, 2003, 01:04 AM Nice curves 7.5/10 X-seed 4000 May 31st, 2003, 05:57 AM Nice! It reminds me of another building I saw in Sao Paulo. The curves look awesome, and the color scheme makes the tower looks even better. 8.5/10 ryan868 May 31st, 2003, 06:23 AM I love the curvature.. It's a nice building up close.. But it looks like crap from far away.. I think an important quality buildings should have is to look good from all angles.. 7/10 SteelCity32 May 31st, 2003, 07:17 AM nice tower...9/10 RafflesCity May 31st, 2003, 11:40 AM 8/10 It looks repulsive and sensual at the same time. james2390 June 5th, 2003, 10:35 AM i always love driving by this one on lake shore dr. ;) 10/10 renell June 5th, 2003, 05:46 PM i like this 7.5 De Snor June 8th, 2003, 08:32 PM 35 years old and still impressive :okay: Oaronuviss June 9th, 2003, 05:34 PM That's awesome!
